Yeah, Pietrus sticking in Golden State seems a lot more likely now that the logjam in front of him is gone. Then again, he can play defense, so I'm not sure if he's allowed to play for Don Nelson.
...I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT!!!

Too funny!

News 4 also talked with Udoka's agent, Erin Cowan. He says that while the Spurs have shown interest, they have not extended an offer as of 5:30 Friday night. Cowan also said that he expected his client to make a decision soon.

Agreed. Raja Bell is a piece of . The guy is one of the worst floppers in the league and he is dirtier than .
Damn. That blog really got my hopes up. If this was bs, I'd be really disappointed.
The more I think about this the more I think that Blake signing with Portland was actually a bad omen for the Spurs. I think the Spurs wanted to get Udoka in a S&T involving Brent. They don't want to sign him outright because of luxury tax issues.
Fantastic. We may not even get Udoka.
Great! There's hope because Udoka is not the player we need. Too short, too old, limited potential and too expensive for the play. I'd take Outlaw any day.
You're wrong.
Portland can't do a S&T with Udoka.
Am I one of the few who find it su ious that the monetary amount ($9 million) has been deleted from the blog???????????????????
Could it be that it is getting closer to being just a "rumor" than anything concrete?
I hopes this fall through and the Spurs get Matt Barnes
he would be the PERFECT replacement for Bowen
When you do a S&T, you can't do it by using the MLE or LLE money.
You do a S&T by using bird rights.
Udoka has signed with Blazers as a FA one year ago : the max Blazers can give to Udoka without using the MLE or LLE is 120% of the minimum salary (less than $1M per year). Udoka will get more than that, Blazers can't do a S&T with him.
Thanks
Barnes would be great but I think he wants too much $ and his agent, Dan Fegan, isn't regarded too highly by the Spurs' FO after the Stephen Jackson deal in the summer of '03.
Ime Udoka!
Well whatever the hold up is- the Spurs have to get rid of Brent to get Udoka because they will not pay $6M for him- salary plus tax. Personally, I think Udoka's agent screwed up.
How is this the agent's fault? It's the Spurs' fault for not moving Barry yet.
Why are so many wanting to move Barry so often?
He knows the Spurs system well now and last season was a good contributor.
The Spurs have shown they will pay Lux tax if it makes sense to do so, so money isn't the issue IMHO.
I think it more probable that they let Barry be the 3rd PG and move Beno.
They sure as won't pay the lux tax. I don't know what you're talking about. This crazy-ass Scola trade was all about not paying the tax.
Barry makes $5.5M. As long as they're paying him that money, they're infinitely less likely to sign anyone else. Essentially he's taking up the MLE this year.
I think the agent has tried to play games with Pritchard that have not worked. His story keeps changing as the week goes on. Also, if the agent leaked out what the Spurs were doing with him, that was stupid with a capital S and maybe he is now trying to cover his tracks.
$100,000 does not equal $3 or $4M in luxury tax.
I think what you meant to say is that they won't pay a LOT of Lux tax, right?
Because if you check back, they have already been doing so for some time now.
This crazy-ass Scola trade was about getting rid of Butler that Pop couldn't stand and wanted out of here as confirmed by both Ludden and a guy who is cloose friends of a Spurs team member. Best deal involved dropping the salary load. Did RC tell you they wouldn't bump the salary total back to where it was pre-trade. Why conjecture with a half a deck or maybe even only the jokers or are you sitting in on the Spurs' FO decisions, particularly state it like you have all the facts?
